The President signed Federal Law On Amendments to the Federal Law On Migration Registration of Foreign Citizens and Stateless Persons in the Russian Federation.
The Federal Law was drafted in line with the Russian Federation Constitutional Court’s decision 22-P of July 19, 2017 regarding the verification of constitutionality of Part 1 and Clause 2 of Part 2 of Article 20 of the Federal Law On Migration Registration of Foreign Citizens and Stateless Persons in the Russian Federation, in the appeal of the case of US citizens Nathaniel Joseph Worden and Parker Drake Oldham, which finds that the above-mentioned clauses are inconsistent with the Constitution.
In order to remedy the shortcomings revealed by the Constitutional Court in the legal and regulatory framework, the Federal Law specifies the notions “place of temporary residence of a foreign citizen or a stateless person in the Russian Federation” and “the party receiving a foreign citizen or a stateless person in the Russian Federation”.
Also, Article 21 of the Federal Law On Migration Registration of Foreign Citizens and Stateless Persons has been reworded to list the places of stay at which foreign citizens are required to register for their stay in Russia.
